Handbook of Neurosociology
Until recently, a handbook on neurosociology would have been viewed with skepticism by sociologists, who have long been protective of their disciplinary domain against perceived encroachment by biology. But a number of developments in the last decade or so have made sociologists more receptive to biological factors in sociology and social psychology. Much of this has been encouraged by the coeditors of this volume, David Franks and Jonathan Turner. This new interest has been increased by the explosion of research in neuroscience on brain functioning and brain-environment interaction (via new MRI technologies), with implications for social and psychological functioning. This handbook emphasizes the integration of perspectives within sociology as well as between fields in social neuroscience. For example, Franks represents a social constructionist position following from G.H. Mead’s voluntaristic theory of the act while Turner is more social structural and positivistic. Furthermore, thishandbook not only contains contributions from sociologists, but leading figures from the psychological perspective of social neuroscience.
Handbook of Neurosociology
This new edition of the very successful handbook documents the incredible theoretical, empirical, and methodological progress within neurosociology since its previous publication in 2013. Led by the next generation of leading neurosociologists Will Kalkhoff, Rengin Firat, and Joseph Dippong, it adds nearly two dozen new chapters. The handbook adds to the critical contribution of the first edition in certifying the unique role of neurosociology and highlighting emerging contributions within the larger sphere of interdisciplinary work combining neural and social perspectives. The chapters in this edition overview cutting-edge methodologies and advance neurosociological perspectives on a broad range of foundational and substantive topics, from the neural underpinnings of identity and interaction to neurosociological models of racial and other enduring inequalities. An impressive collection of established and emerging scholars has contributed to this edition, which provides an up-to-date and accessible overview of the field for researchers, students, practitioners, and policymakers alike.
